Read full descriptionHide full description
A glass of water, a few pages, a short walk. FlowTraces lets you record small steps with Mimo, a friendly 3D bear. Mimo’s living home makes the time you give yourself visible. The app interface is currently in Turkish. BUILD YOUR OWN RHYTHM Choose from 10 ready-made habits: water, reading, walking, stretching, a breathing break, meditation, preparing for sleep, journaling, language practice and a screen break. You can also add your own habit. Set personal goals, scheduled days and reminder times. On a difficult day, switch to smaller goals for that day. TAKE A SMALL BREAK WITH MIMO Record your water intake and see the rippling water in Mimo’s belly. Start a timed reading or other habit session while Mimo joins you with its own movement. Keep journal notes on your device. A HOME YOU CAN MAKE YOUR OWN Tap objects in a home whose light changes with the time of day to open your habits. Choose the home’s colours, room layout and plant position. Complete a reading goal on 3 different days to unlock lamp choices, or a walking goal on 3 different days to unlock garden paths. The days do not have to be consecutive. SEE THE STEPS YOU HAVE TAKEN View your plans and records from the last 7 days. Grow different garden corners through movement, reading and rest habits. Taking a break does not erase previous records. FREE AND PREMIUM Free use supports up to 5 active habits and 3 reminder times per habit. Optional FlowTraces Premium supports up to 15 active habits, 24 reminder times per habit and a monthly history view. The device’s total scheduled-notification limits also apply. Monthly and yearly subscription prices, durations and any offered introductory conditions are shown by Apple before purchase. Manage subscriptions through your Apple account and restore previous purchases. YOUR RECORDS STAY WITH YOU No account is required. There are no ads or in-app tracking. Habits, notes and home choices are stored on your device; you can optionally export them as a JSON file. The app does not operate its own cloud sync service.

Hydra
Read full descriptionHide full description
Hydra is a hydration tracker built around a single gesture: drag up anywhere on the home screen and watch the water rise to where you logged. Most water apps use a generic 2L target. Hydra calculates yours from your weight, sex, activity level, and climate — then bumps it up automatically when you take creatine. Because creatine pulls water into your muscle cells, you actually need more. DESIGNED AROUND THE WAY YOU DRINK • Drag to pour — pan up anywhere on the home screen • Quick-add presets for a glass (250ml), bottle (500ml), or shaker (700ml) • Custom amounts for anything in between • A live water-level background that fills as you progress CREATINE-AWARE TARGETS • One-tap daily creatine pill • Target adjusts automatically: +500ml per 5g dose • Personalized baseline from weight, sex, activity, and climate STREAKS THAT FORGIVE A BAD DAY • Daily streak counter • Personal best tracking • One streak freeze per week • Milestone glow effects every 7 days PRIVATE BY DEFAULT • No account, no login, no email • No analytics, no trackers, no ads • Everything stays on your device Drag to pour. Hit your goal. Build the streak. --- SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS Hydra Pro is available as an auto-renewing subscription: • Hydra Pro Monthly — £4.99 / month • Hydra Pro Annual — £29.99 / year (save 50%) Prices may vary by region.

Manage or cancel any time in your Apple ID account settings.
